The Pacific Solution?

TOO RA LOO RA LOO RA LOOThey're looking for monkeys up in the zooSaid one if I had a face like youYou'd be on Easter Island

Yes, sad indeed and almost incomprehensible that Abbott, like Howard before him, is appealing to base instincts in this election by promising to "Stop the Boats", turn them around and send them back. Abbott, a professed Christian like Howard, shows no compassion to those who have most need of it. The Labor Party's ''regional solution'' is also appealing to base instincts nurtured by shock jocks and poll politics. Where is the leadership? Where is the recognition that this nation is bigger and better than this?

About Me

Well it's been a long road with stones in my pathway, in the words of Robert Johnson. There have been times when my left eye was jumpin',rain was fallin', and some mule kickin' in my stall, but one persevered and basically just went about one's business. Pain is overrated. I subscribe to Mal Fraser's view that "life is not meant to be easy" but I suspect that Mal may have appropriated this concept. There is a huge inequality in breakfast, even more now that the Abbott Guv'ment [sic] is here, as self serving as you would expect. The bleatings of a senile goat will have more significance for the Human Race. Yea the Lord Above is asleep, or watching The Sopranos, god bless Him, I think He's retired and some might say that it's a good thing. But there is beauty and there is love.
